    I spent a beautiful week in the house just as you drove into Corrie (before the left turn off the main road). And what a magical time we had on Arran. We also summited Goatfell from Corrie and only saw one other person.

    Seneca, you and I are in agreement. Elderly and slow go together in the case of Bassett Hiunds. Just ask Steve Donoghue. Never mind, better slow than the alternative. It's the one drawback with pets, they don't outlive us.

    As an atheist, aa was heavily damaging! Have you read the sexist chapter about the wives???? A higher power was the professional ppl that guided me through my childhood trauma! That cannot be prayed away! And guess what!? I took my power back!! This cult just has you repeating all 12 steps making you feel powerless for eternity!! I became sober and stayed sober inspite this out dated disgusting book being crammed down my throat!! Plus Bill W transferred his addiction to womanizing and cigarettes!! He died from lung disease directly from his smoking….AND on his deathbed he cried out for alcohol!!! I’ll say it again, this book helps addiction as much as conversation camps help gay ppl

    I remember telling my mother around 21-22 years old that "I didn't think alcoholic's where real, they where weak men", and she yelling at me in away that she never had before, I didn't know that her father my grandfather was a alcoholic at the time, and my grandpa was a absolute bull of a a man he had 6 children 1 son and 5 daughters he kept them alive by paving the freeways of America and would shoot a deer every fall without fail to feed them. he was a man of granite as far as I was concerned who I had no idea struggled with alcoholism every day, to this day I feel dumb for saying that, because that's who I became.

  • @Edward135i
    @Edward135i 18 днів тому

    I've often wondered if AA even exist in the UK because Alcoholic behavior is so excepted and even considered "cultural" across the pond. Brits often make fun of Americans for having strange a relationship with Alcohol because we binge drink in our 20s then become nearly "sober" in our 30s, My question is how do you continue that lifestyle for your entire life while having several kids and having to make a living.

    I doubt the author intended the story to offer a message of hope, so I agree with your professor. Although the last interactions between the condemned do show some care, solidarity and affection. Maybe, however, we have a duty to give the story a message of potential hope and redemption. It is so dark and bleak if we do not. Your personal anecdote around your involvement with the story is touching and endearing. It would be dreadful for a young reader to embrace the kind of nihilism that some of the characters display.

    This is a good one my friend. In the end, we are invited to the lodge. A big lodge. It doesn’t matter if it covered in buffalo skins or bricks with a ruler and compass at the entrance. No one needs to be a member or know secret handshakes. There’s no sponsors, chiefs, apprentices, or masters. Hopefully we’ll smoke from the same pipe and tell good stories. Until then, we will struggle. Especially if we want to do well and succeed. Selflessness is the only solution. Taking guys through the book, guiding that young man in a temple meeting, and worshipping the creator. I could shade my eyes with my hand and look far and long and see these things will never change. Lord have mercy. -redraven-

    Hi Cams, I’ve been subscribed to your Booktube channel for a while now & I truly love your content over there & on Substack/Storygraph. Since the beginning I’ve always found you comforting since you are the same age as my Dad was/would have been - I headed over to this channel to see whats what over here & have come across this video. My Dad’s name was David Jenkins. This clip is beautiful & I truly feel like he’s sent me down this rabbit hole of your content to find it. So thank you! Thank you for posting all these years so that 6 months after losing my Dad he can say hi to me through moments like this ❤

I think you should improve title, add end screen and add more ranking tags (According to your Content) on video tag section.Also need to share your video on different social media sites.Then your videos can easily reach out to your lovely audience...Your dedication and video concept for your channel are truly impressive.you're doing quite well.However, your content is not reaching the desired number of viewers....I believe that by doing so, all your needs will be met..,.And all the best for your journey on youtube......

    Just found your channel and I use it as a 'forcing function' to read along in my copy of the Daily Stoic and enjoy your ponderings. Ryan Holiday comments on this passage by stating:"..the fact that you are able to reason in and out of situations - ... is what gives you the ability to improve your circumstances and become better". I would say: "Keep pondering".

    'Of alcoholics who came to AA and really tried, 50% got sober at once and remained that way; 25% sobered up after some relapses and among the remainder, those who stayed on with AA showed improvement.' From the book, 'Alcoholics Anonymous.' Foreword to second edition.
